Leon Ferrell, 77, of Benton, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 26, 2019. He was born January 25, 1942 in Haggarville, Arkansas to Marcus and Gertie Tumbleson Ferrell.
Leon was an outdoors man who loved hunting and fishing. He was a well-known brick mason in the area. Leon was tough as nails on the outside but had a very big heart.
